NFL DFS: FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football Picks for Week 13 - Top Lineup Plays Include Justin Herbert, Kyren Williams, Mike Evans, T.J. Hockenson And More

Justin Herbert

Top FanDuel daily fantasy football lineup picks for Week 13 DFS in 2024. Dennis Clausen's NFL DFS picks for building winning NFL DFS lineups on FanDuel in Week 13.

Happy Thanksgiving. With the Lions, Cowboys, and Packers picking up wins on Thursday, Week 13 rolls on with a meeting between the Chiefs and Raiders on Friday. But it’s back to business on Sunday, with an 11-game schedule on tap, one of which is a Sunday Night Football showdown between San Francisco and Buffalo. Speaking of the Bills, there are already scenarios that could result in Buffalo clinching a postseason berth. The same is true for Kansas City and Detroit.  

In this article, I will be providing you with my Week 13 daily fantasy football lineup picks for FanDuel and the 2024 NFL season. These lineups can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel.

Week 13 FanDuel Quarterbacks - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Justin Herbert - @ ATL ($7,900) 

Despite losing Keenan Allen, Austin Ekeler, and Mike Williams in the offseason, Herbert has kept his head above water, although he only has 13 touchdowns and completed 62.9% of his throws this season.

Fortunately, the signal-caller has an excellent chance to get it together against a Falcons’ defense that has allowed nearly 25 points per game in 2024-25, one of the worst marks in the National Football League.  

Matthew Stafford - @ NO ($7,400) 

Stafford had a rough start to the 2024-25 campaign, throwing only two touchdowns in the Rams’ first six contests. To be fair, Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp both missed time. However, with Nacua and Kupp back on the field, Stafford has turned up the volume by tossing 12 touchdowns (three picks) in his last five appearances.

There will likely be more productive fantasy quarterbacks in Week 13. But Stafford may be one of the safest options against the New Orleans Saints, and his rostering cost is a bargain.  

Also Consider: Jalen Hurts (@ BAL, $9,200) 

 

Week 13 FanDuel Running Backs - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Kyren Williams - @ NO ($8,400) 

Williams had at least one touchdown in his first seven games to begin the season. However, that streak was snapped in the Rams' overtime win over the Seahawks in early November and lasted three games. Without question, fantasy managers were thrilled to see him get back in the end zone in the Week 12 loss to the Eagles.

There are a few things not to like about Williams, especially since he’s only averaged 4.0 yards per carry. Still, he’s always involved. That shouldn’t change in Week 13 versus a Saints’ defense that had allowed 12 rushing touchdowns this season, the third-worst total in the NFL. 

Bucky Irving - @ CAR ($7,200) 

Although Rachaad White continues to log more snaps, Irving has been more productive of late. He is coming off a strong showing in Week 12 against the Giants, rushing for 88 yards and one touchdown off 12 carries, significantly better than White’s 12 touches for 37 yards.

The 22-year-old also caught all six targets for 64 yards. DFS managers should look in his direction on Sunday, considering he’ll have an opportunity to produce against a shoddy Panthers’ defense.  

Also Consider: Joe Mixon (@ JAC, $9,500), Alvin Kamara (vs. LAR, $8,300), Chuba Hubbard (vs. TB, $7,400), Chase Brown (vs. PIT, $7,300) 

 

Week 13 FanDuel Wide Receivers - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Mike Evans - @ CAR ($8,300) 

After missing time because of a hamstring injury, Evans finally made his return for Tampa Bay's win over the Giants in Week 12. He wasn’t terrible, catching five of his six targets for 68 yards.

Yet, fantasy managers were still hoping to see the pre-injury version of the wideout. With that in mind, Evans should play better in Week 13, considering he has been extra-productive against the Panthers throughout his career, amassing 102 catches for 1,480 yards. He also had 11 touchdowns in 19 regular-season games against Carolina over the years.  

Ladd McConkey - @ ATL ($6,300) 

McConkey has had a solid inaugural year. While Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers saw more attention heading into the NFL Draft, the case can be made that McConkey will be just as good moving ahead.

He’s been targeted at least six times in nine of his 11 appearances this season, so it’s likely Justin Herbert will continue to look in his direction, including in Week 13 against a weak Falcons’ defense.  

Also Consider: Justin Jefferson (vs. ARI, $8,900), Puka Nacua (@ NO, $8,700), Brian Thomas Jr. (vs. HOU, $6,700), Khalil Shakir (vs. SF, $6,200) 

 

Week 13 FanDuel Tight Ends - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

T.J. Hockenson - vs. ARI ($6,500) 

Hockenson has missed most of the year due to a knee injury. However, after a lengthy absence, the 2019 No. 8 overall pick was finally back on the field in Week 9 against the Colts.

So far, things have worked out relatively well, with Hockenson totaling 20 receptions for 226 yards in four games. Although he’ll have a challenging matchup with the Cardinals on tap, he should remain a go-to option on the receiving end. 

Also Consider: Trey McBride (@ MIN, $6,900), Hunter Henry (vs. IND, $5,100)
